You ever notice how Team Floyd NEVER mentions any other opponents except Pac?

[Hannibal Barca]

Because team Pac doesn't want Mayweather, and unfortunately, due to the blind, deaf, and dumb of the boxing world Manny will get a pass. If Mayweather opts to fight anyone other than Pac, everyone will be up in arms. Pac could fight a paralyzed kid stricken to a wheel chair and most of these fools would jizz in their pants over it.

[shadeyfizzle]

That makes no sense why wouldn't Floyd just fight any Manny's other "options" and if people would revolt against Floyd taking those fight why would Manny get a Pass there both in the same division

Because Floyd himself has billed himself as the cash cow of boxing and the persona of "if it makes dollars it makes sense". And has already taken harsh criticism of "choosing" opponents. He has also said the reason he came out of his retirement was for "legacy"

He cannot fight anyone but Pacquiao after Mosley. Nobody, and i mean nobody in the 140-154 range but Pacquiao brings anything to the table money or legacywise for floyd.

We dont even know if Bradley is definitively better than Alexander or Malignaggi let alone in the same elite class as Pac or May. He fights anyone from 140 and he takes huge criticism for fighting another smaller man at welterweight.

He could fight Berto since he likes that green belt so much but it effectively kills his "money" mayweather persona since he would be purposely fighting a fighter that has never been on a ppv undercard let alone ppv headliner over a huge money fight.

Fighting any belt holder at 154 wouldnt do anything for Floyd's legacy because he's already gotten a belt from that division and it comes with the same criticism as fighting berto at 147. Meanwhile for Pacquiao to do it would be perfectly legitimate since it would add to his historic weight division belt chase climb.

So essentially you are saying the biggest cash cow in the sport wont get fights?

Not possible. He just made 20 Million vs. JMM he wont have a problem getting cake.

Pac just fought Clottey and wants to fight Marg now and neither oe of them do anything for his legacy at all.

Floyd can fight plenty of fighters.

You're not hearin what i'm sayin at all. I never said Floyd cant get fights, i never said floyd cant make money.

Im sayin Floyd has made a career out of "smart business decisions". And he has stated that he came out of retirement for "legacy".

Now say he beats mosley as decisively as i think he will....name a fighter not named pacquiao that qualifies for either "smart business decision" or "legacy". There is none. He fights anybody not named Pacquiao and it effectively kills his "money" persona that y'all love so much. Meanwhile Pacquiao fighting at 154 would fit "legacy" legitimately.

[brick wall]

Huh?

Im not talking about before they signed to fight Clottey and Mosley.

Im talking about NOW.

***** your idol should not even talk about any other fighter (even pac) because he still has to fight shane on may 1. overlooking an opponent like shane is ******. pac on the other hand can talk about fighting anyone he wants because he has no scheduled fight yet.

[Iceta Lives]

I think Floyd did try to fight Nate Campell, but HBO shot it down.

Thats why I said he just made 20 Mill he wont have an issue making money with these guys especially after the sucess of the Mosley PPV.

Floyd fighting Williams, Martinez, and Pavlik doesnt increase his legacy? How?

Instead of saying that Floyd cant enhance his legacy you should be saying if Pac fights any 154 Pounder other then Williams, Martinez or Dzinziruk then hes wasting his time.

Nates own advisor said that wasnt true.

you're a dumbass burner. floyd made $30M against marquez, not $20M. check the businessweek 2009 earnings report i posted months ago.
